The Resetting Thread

I really love my map, so I can't see myself resetting any time soon! ^_^

Good luck with finding the map, JellyBeans! :D

My sister ended up wanting to look at the maps, and then she liked a map in the second batch. My resetting urge is not over..
 
Hurray hurray I found a map I like!!! It only took like 6 hours of resetting :) I also got circle grass and cherries. In all my time playing Animal Crossing I've always had triangle grass and apples, so I'm excited for the change. My only regret is I have a brown train roof ... it just wasn't worth trying to keep resetting once I found a map I liked.

I have totally new to me villagers too - Fauna, Purrl, Spork, Tutu, and Grizzly. My house is on a cliff right by a river and beach and waterfall which is awesome. I'm having a great time running around town already. So much better than my last map. I'm so glad I reset!

Now if only I could figure out how to post a pic of my map! :)

Good for you!

Let me recap with the villagers:

Fauna (Normal)
Purrl (Snooty)
Spork (Lazy)
Tutu (Peppy)
Grizzly (Cranky)​

Second day of game will give you No. 6. The house plot. That Personality will be one of the following three: Smug, Jock, or Uchi.

I suggest creating a new human character. You would have that person check out whose plot is set. If you don't want the incoming, expectant villager, you can stop the game without saving and go through another try, with a new human character, to see who else the game offers.

I did this with my new town. My Villagers Nos. 6, 7, and 8 are in the categories of Smug, Uchi, and Lazy. For No. 6, it will shuffle between the three category types (again, for you, that would be Smug, Jock, and Uchi). For No. 7, it will shuffle between the two which remain. And for No. 8, it can only offer the one remaining Personality category. This all would be applicable if you're not getting new villagers outside what is offered by the game.

Note that the day after the latest villager has moved into town is when to expect a new, incoming villager's plot outline—and, of course, to employ creating and using a new human character to manipulate an outcome more to your liking.

I stumbled onto this in connection with something else. In my original town of Applewin, I recently got Rosie. I did not know about plot resetting and using a brand-new human character to do it. On the date Rosie's house plot was set I opened the game with my mayor and, as I inquired in a Bell Tree Forums thread, was informed that that was the reason I couldn't reset. (Fortunately, Rosie's location was, while not ideal, not too bad.)

I tried this method out with my third town and am delighted it's a workable solution. You don't control which are your first five beginning villagers. And my recommendation is to go with a map that is good enough to your personal liking; a native fruit you want (and/or don't mind); and to have at least one starting villager who meets with your satisfaction. Doing this—prior to manipulating outcomes for Villagers Nos. 6, 7, and 8—will do a fair enough job of being personally appealing.

The "Second day of game will give you No. 6. The house plot. That Personality will be one of the following three: Smug, Jock, or Uchi." is entirely wrong, lol. It can be any personality that you don't already have.
 
I found a permanent town finally
My first town I had for a month
My 2nd town I had for 2 weeks
My 3rd town I had for 3 weeks
My 4th I had for 2 months
My 5th I had for 2 weeks
My 6th I had for a week
My 7th I had for almost a week
My 8th I had for 2 days,,,
This is my 9th, I'm treating this like a cat, they say they have nine lives and I am on my last one
I will not reset. I have a perfect layout, perfect pond placement, cherries, and have perfectly plot reset 3 Dreamies so far.
I am done with resetting.

I know, that's why I'm stopping myself. But... I dunno I'm almost losing interest in AC... or don't have enough time. *sigh* if I don't have time I might as well just have random cycling towns like ugh why must this game play with my emotions.

Oh.
It's hard, because if I was in your situation I would've probably reset already, when I think about resetting, I end up doing it.
Do you log on your game often? Does it feel like a chore?

It sorta does yeah. I feel like I'd be better off resetting... I'd have a massive giveaway and cycle first though haha.

I'm starting to warm to resetting again..

If it feels like a chore, maybe resetting would be for the best.
But it's solely up to you. :)

Yeah I feel I should but all my progress..

Y'know what? I'm gonna give in. I'm gonna reset. Make like my... fifth or sixth town xD But first I'll cycle out my populars and have a huge giveaway. Maybe a fresh start would be good, and it won't feel like such a chore idk.

I'm pretty new to this trick, so I have a question if you don't mind. >//<
Lets say on the second day of your town you use the reset trick to find a dreamie, and you find your dreamie. Can you use it to reset their plot as well, without changing the villager? Or don't you have to deal with where they decide to plop their house down?
